Its installed so badly I dont know where to start, but

1) black or brown cable would have been preferable

2) theres about 10 feet too much cable - it should have been trimmed

3) the plastic cover plate at the hole in the wall appears to be broken

4) there could be a hefty compensation claim if someone trips over that loose cable
haha if you look close enough he has got a cable going through the downpipe hole. ooowwwwcchhhh shocking..........

You have your pick of cables to catch yourself on. Zoom in on the cable coming from the lower right corner of the window. Also something looks odd about the aerial install. Ie the cable there doesn't look right either but that might be the angle of the picture.

Not the worst install I've seen though I don't have pictures to prove it.

When i had my installation a few years ago from sky they put the cable through the drainpipe aswell and put hardly any cable holders. And its still like that aint had a chance to sort it out. I wasnt really into the scene before and i only noticed when i looked from the bedroom window i could see the wire submerged in rain water.
